The only thing Honda or another manufacturer might do is void your warranty for not using their part. Then again being that this is an off road vehicle they can find 1,000's of ways to void you. Stihl chain saws will void you if you don't use their oil, it is dyed. Got news for you, if the saw was used by a township, fire dept. or other similar use they might void your warranty by misuse.
go onto wix or purolator oil filter website and cross reference your vehicle to see which oil filter they make to fit your honda. Another good oil filter is mobil1 or even bosch. 1 of those 4 quality filters should be able to get what you want for a few bucks cheaper than a honda dealership at auto parts stores. Polaris dealer wants 12 bucks for an oil filter they don't make and has their name on it and I can get them cheaper thru wix at auto parts stores on sale for around 6-7 bucks. Buy 2-3 on sale if you find them on sale saves a few bucks.
fram filters are not very good and would not recommend them for anything.
I either use Polaris OEM filters for my polaris or have bought K&N oil filters at twice the price for my arctic cat ATV. I also have heard good things about hi-flo oil filters and recently bought one that is identical in color, shape and size as the K&N and have heard hi-flo makes some K&N oil filters and from what I have seen are identical in design and function except paying an extra 5-7 bucks just for the easy on/off nut welded on the end.
Check out K&N filters online..what I like about them is they come with a 5/8 nut built onto the end of the filter...makes taking off and putting back on a lot easier since the spots they mount filters is usually so tight and the filters so small you cant get a wrench around them.
